Comments on: Neda Agha-Soltan – Innocent Symbol Of Revolution [Reader Post] http://www.floppingaces.net/2009/06/25/neda-agha-soltan-innocent-symbol-of-revolution/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:08:41 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: James Raider http://www.floppingaces.net/2009/06/25/neda-agha-soltan-innocent-symbol-of-revolution/#comment-215982 James Raider Thu, 25 Jun 2009 23:23:29 +0000 http://www.floppingaces.net/?p=23801#comment-215982 Doug, The pattern has been rather evident since well before the election. Fence sitting is an art that Obama seems to have perfected. On the economy, he seems to understand absolutely nothing. On Iran, it took video of Neda's last moments to bring him out of his closet.

He seems to be completely out of his depth in the assessment of foreign affairs, and as with economic complexities he couldn't be bothered to understand, he seems too thrilled with being President and with enjoying Air Force One, to really take the time to either intellectualize or emotionally grasp any of these situations critical to American Taxpayers. Doug,

Mousavi was presented in the elections because he was "acceptable" to the ruling ayatollahs and mullahs, which means he was One Of Them, absolutely. It remains that while the election rigging was an initial rallying point for the demonstrators, the violent reaction provides evidence to the Iranian people that they are not free and are not living in a democracy. yonason,

Obama went out and bought puppy pops ice cream. Hillary sat on her fat ass moaning about her broken elbow. Pelosi stood at a flower-laden lectern and preached to us about non-existent global warming. (Ever notice how tyrants like to load up on flowers?) Leadership we can all believe in. The first 3AM phone call got here. Obama went out and bought puppy pops ice cream.

They are supporters of Mousavi, who is perhaps even worse than Ahmadinejad, because he has been very effective in the evils he's committed... http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2009/06/soylent_green_r.html And, did I mention that Mousavi is also one of the fathers of Iran's nuke program? Does anyone think that things will be better under him? If so, think again.

It's still a shame her life was taken from her. It’s sad that she will never know that by simply being there she could be the focus for the change coming to her country.
